its good (for 99c Beggining bid) but you need AV Cords in your portable, AV Cords take up room, and it says will work with anything with AV Cords so you need AV Cords, if you dont have them in your Portable it may not work

Eveything runs on DC, all you have to do with that GameGo is to find the voltage and current draw for the input and presto you have a screen. The big question here though is not really will it work but what the input votage is, if its 12v then most of us will not even consider it. Reason being most systems run on 7v batteries so we'd only use a screen like that for Dreamcast, GameCube, PS2 and on the off chance the Xbox.

you don't need AV cords if you bypass the AV ports and solder directly to the board

Well it seems like a good deal to me even if it was broken (99c i mean come on)
I think i'll buy it for my PGC.
And yeah directly to the screen would be good.

Looks a lot like the crappy Intec/Interact Game Cube screen. It may not be, but it sure looks like it.....

using a power module that converts your car voltage from 12 volts to 220 volts

If the cube is rated for 220V, that is probably PAL. I think this was either a typo, or the seller is a moron, though.

Even if it is PAL, you could sell it to one of our English brethren for 20 bucks (get back what you paid and then some).
